FireWire and USB 1.1 Driver Installation Steps
The Tango requires that FireWire and USB 1.1 drivers be installed in your system
to enable the FireWire and USB ports. Locate the following section that applies to
your system for information and instructions.
Tango Firmware Patch Information
Only For Power Macintosh 5500 and 6500, and Twentieth Anniversary
Macintosh users
. You must install an open firmware patch that enables your sys-
tem to fully support the Tango before you install any FireWire or USB drivers. Log
onto the Internet, go to www.sonnettech.com/support/tango, and then locate
and click on the
Tango Firmware Patch
link. Download the file, and then follow
the included instructions to install the patch.

If your system is already running Mac OS 9.2.x and/or Mac OS X, the Apple
drivers that enable the FireWire and USB ports on the Tango have already been
installed. When you are upgrade to Mac OS 9.2.x or Mac OS X, the appropriate
drivers will be installed automatically.
Mac OS 9.1.x (Existing Installation)
Complete these steps only if you installed Mac OS 9.1 before installing the
Tango. Please note,
if your system has built-in USB and FireWire ports, you may skip
these steps.

Support Note:
Many peripherals require their own drivers and applica-
tion software to operate or have full functionality. The Apple drivers
already installed, or that you are about to install, in your system provide only
limited support for some items. You should also install software included with the
device, or available to download from the device manufacturer’s web site. Check
the peripheral’s user’s manual for information about necessary software.
